Northwest Weather Discussion - Dec 2023 onwards

[HafrenLMP1]

Funnily enough I remember both days (20th March, 5th April); I was on work experience for 2 weeks in Mott McDonald's in Liverpool. And then on a school trip to BAe, in Broughton - I recall the snow on the latter day, and the larger workshops/ hangars were freezing.

[Rain Lady]

117.8mm rain for March so far here, above average already. So every month last Sept onwards has been above average. Not forgetting the record wet July last year.

Your patch today @Scuba steve 

Langdale zoom. 

 

[Had Worse]

Looks very similar to my patch. 

Grey, wet and miserable

[Scuba steve]

K Iceaxecrampon it’s  improved a lot and when the suns out certainly noticed the warmth  you at Silverdale station ?

 Scuba steve Sandside and Storth Some nice properties up there. Then on to Levens. Yes decent warmth when the big  orange thing appeared. 

[Scuba steve]

 Iceaxecrampon  yes park rd near pub I guess

[Iceaxecrampon]

 Scuba steve Yes. What’s going on with the Ship. Had many a beer outside  years back. 

[Scuba steve]

 Iceaxecrampon not sure think the landlord left to run another pub ,are the concrete blocks still there not been down there for a while

[A Face like Thunder]

Rain has stopped at last but very wet underfoot. 1-2 signs of it brightening up a bit but I'm not holding my breath on this. 

[Iceaxecrampon]

 Scuba steve Blocks still there. Car Park is accessible. Another thing noticed a lot of flotsam on the road. Never noticed the flood gates on properties either. Must be quite eventful these Bay tides. 

[Scuba steve]

 Iceaxecrampon I think it does flood , A big  tide last week at 10.3 metres,might have a run down and have a look at the weekend

The Lake District escaped with a dry day today, very bright with some sunny spells, a definate taste of spring in the air, certainly put a step in my stride. 

[Had Worse]

Dry and cloudy this morning. 

Plenty of rain in the Irish sea though.

[carl1980]

This cold front coming in earlier ? The rain doesn't look to far away 

[severe snowstorm]

Overcast and dry here to start. The rain out in the Irish Sea doesn't look like the 'patchy' affair the met talk about.

[severe snowstorm]

 Had Worse The gift that keeps on giving is the Atlantic.

[Rain Lady]

Raining now lightly.   Plans for outdoor work scuppered again maybe?   Will  weather improve later ... or not.  For the last 6 months we've had this unsettled wet weather.    So difficult to plan anything.  Sure enough if an "indoor" day is arranged -- then the sun will come out.

[A Face like Thunder]

 damianslaw I wish we'd been dry yesterday, with persistent rain until 4pm. At least it's dry this morning!

[Rain Lady]

Aha -- Netweather fotecast has now found some showery rain for us this morning, then 4 hrs dry before another dose.   Not raining ar present, but looking dark grey to the west.  

[tricol]

It's non stop. Middle of next week looks like a bit atlantic low. I reckon Easter will be a washout. Fairly bright here, but spots of rain now. Nothing in the forecast at all yesterday, now quite a bit is heading from the NW. 

[Scuba steve]

Fairly miserable now the rains started though 50 % of patio i m building  is now complete  reckon another 3 or 4 days will see it done thus saving me 5 k the landscape contractors quoted

[Rain Lady]

Spitting again but not wetting seriously.  These folks seem uncertain about the weather forecast  and are still wearing winter clothes.   

[Scuba steve]

 Rain Lady  some heavy rain showers in amongst the general  rain  though seems to have eased off for now
